It was getting dark. When Zheng Zhongqiang arrived at the Municipal Government, Chen Xing had already come downstairs. He was waiting for Zheng Zhongqiang in the yard. If Zheng Zhongqiang hadn't called him in advance, Chen Xing would have already left.
Director Zheng, what's so important that you have to come here at this time? You can't tell me on the phone. Seeing Zheng Zhongqiang get out of the car, Chen Xing asked with a smile. Zheng Zhongqiang had just said that he had something important to tell him on the phone, but he didn't say anything. Chen Xing was curious that Zheng Zhongqiang wanted to tell him face to face.
Mayor, Zeng Jing was arrested. Zheng Zhongqiang walked quickly to Chen Xing. Seeing that no one was around, he whispered.
What did you say? Chen Xing was shocked. He looked at Zheng Zhongqiang. Director Zheng, is today April Fool's Day?
Mayor, definitely not. Zeng Jing was taken away by Lin Gang and the people from the Provincial Department. Zheng Zhongqiang smiled bitterly.
Making sure that Zheng Zhongqiang wasn't joking, Chen Xing was furious. What was Lin Gang trying to do? Did he want to turn the world upside down? This was Jiang City, not a place for him to do whatever he wanted.
Mayor, here's the problem. Lin Gang said that Zeng Jing was involved in the murder of his son, Lin Mao, and that Zeng Jing was taken away as a suspect. Zheng Zhongqiang said.
How is that possible? Does he have proof? Chen Xing was shocked.
He said he has proof, but he didn't tell me what it was. But I think Lin Gang wouldn't lie about such an important thing. Otherwise, he should know better than anyone else the consequences of arresting Zeng Jing without proof.
Even if he had proof, Zeng Jing was the current director of the branch. Arresting Zeng Jing like this was against the procedure. Chen Xing said angrily.
Maybe Lin Gang really had proof, which was why he acted so recklessly. After all, it was his son's murder case. Lin Gang might be more impulsive and aggressive than usual, even disregarding the consequences. Zheng Zhongqiang frowned. On the way to the Municipal Government, he had thought a lot. What Lin Gang did today, no matter whether he had solid proof that Zeng Jing was involved in the murder case or not, had violated the procedure, which would definitely affect his future. But Lin Gang did it anyway. It was conceivable that Lin Gang couldn't be judged by normal standards. But from a father's point of view, it was understandable, because Lin Gang only had one son, Lin Mao, and now there was no more.
Chen Xing listened to Zheng Zhongqiang with a gloomy face. "Director Zheng, do you know where Zeng Jing is taken?
I just came back from that place. I went to Lin Gang to ask for him, but he was very stubborn, so I had to give up for now.
Okay, you lead the way. I want to see Zeng Jing now.
"Okay." Zheng Zhongqiang nodded. Chen Xing's reaction was within his expectation.
Zheng Zhongqiang's car led the way. Chen Xing sat in his own car, his face tense and gloomy. The news of Zeng Jing's arrest was like a bomb exploding in his head. Chen Xing couldn't believe that Zeng Jing was involved in a murder case. Zeng Jing was a policewoman. She knew the law better than anyone else. How could she do such a thing?
"Lin Gang!" Muttering Lin Gang's name, Chen Xing's face darkened. This time, no matter what happened to Zeng Jing, he would find a way to deal with Lin Gang.
The car sped on the road. Chen Xing looked out of the window in silence. He kept a straight face. No one knew what he was thinking. Even Yu Zhiyuan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, didn't dare to say a word. Yu Zhiyuan knew about the relationship between Chen Xing, Wu Gang, and Zeng Jing. He knew that Chen Xing took good care of them. Now that Lin Gang dared to arrest Zeng Jing, it was like poking a hornet's nest.
"Xiao Yu, you told me this afternoon that Zhao Mingcheng was bailed out by Lin Gang, right?" Asked Chen Xing suddenly.
Yes, that was what Li Shuangjin, the director of the Local Taxation Bureau, told him on the phone. He said that the branch office of Jiangfeng District explained to him that Lin Gang had told them in person, so they had to release Zeng Jing. Yu Zhiyuan nodded and said.
Chen Xing didn't say anything. Lin Gang suddenly protected Zhao Mingcheng, and then Zeng Jing was arrested. Thinking of the strange relationship between Zeng Jing and Zhao Mingcheng, Chen Xing felt that he had grasped something, but he couldn't find the key point.
While Chen Xing was thinking, the car soon arrived at the suburb. Yu Zhiyuan reminded Chen Xing that they had arrived. Chen Xing suddenly realized something. He turned around and looked out of the window. There was a forest around them. Chen Xing raised his eyebrows. Zeng Jing was brought here.
This was a training base of the Provincial Department. There was also a place to handle cases. Zheng Zhongqiang got out of the car first and explained to Chen Xing.
"Hmm." Chen Xing nodded indifferently. He looked around and frowned. Why can't the car go in?
The guards at the gate said that without Lin Gang's permission, no cars or people can go in. I parked my car outside and forced my way in. If I hadn't been the director of the Municipal Bureau, the guards wouldn't have dared to stop me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get in. Zheng Zhongqiang shrugged helplessly.
I think Lin Gang is crazy. Chen Xing's face was gloomy, and he was already walking forward.
The two police officers on duty at the door were the same two as before. When they saw Zheng Zhongqiang coming again, they smiled bitterly. They knew that they couldn't stop him even if they wanted to. However, when they saw that there were other people, one of the police officers was stunned. He wanted to go forward and stop him, but his companion beside him suddenly pulled him to the side. "Where are your eyes? Don't you want to live anymore? Don't you recognize the person next to Chief Zheng? You want to go forward and stop him? Are you tired of living?"
Who is it? If I could recognize him, I wouldn't need you to pull me away. The policeman who was pulled away was confused.
That's the mayor of Jiang City, Chen Xing. You can't even recognize him? I think you've been working in this city for nothing. The other policeman twitched his mouth.
You … Are you sure you didn't recognize him wrongly?
How could you? Didn't you see that Director Zheng was beside him?
The two policemen hid on the side and murmured. They didn't dare to come forward. When they saw Zheng Zhongqiang and Chen Xing go in, they looked at each other and realized something. One of them said, "Lin Gang is going to make a big mess this time by arresting Zeng Jing."
"Alas, it's obvious. It might be a big mess, but it has nothing to do with us. We're just nobodies. We're just following orders. It's not our place to meddle in this kind of thing." The other policeman said and took out his phone. "We don't dare to stop him. We'd better inform the people in the building."
